Certain features of Saturday's game stamp the 1912 team as the greatest of all Harvard elevens. Not only was it fast and aggressive and ever ready to take advantage of Yale's miscues; not only did it distinguish itself by fighting with as great determination and spirit as has ever been shown by any team; but it played one of the cleanest and most sportsmanlike contests of football ever seen on the gridiron. This victory over the hard-fighting, clean-playing Yale eleven was one of the greatest ever gained by Harvard and to Captain Wendell, who has proved...
...will not figure in the running today was indicated by the miserable showing her team made against the University team two weeks ago, and Princeton has been badly beaten by Yale. While the Dartmouth team won the New England intercolelgiates last week, it will probably find itself in too fast company today. The other colleges to run are Pennsylvania, Brown, Colgate, Columbia, College of the City of New York; M. I. T., and Syracuse...

Harvard, on the other hand, has an unusually brilliant backfield, is very strong in the kicking game, and has a comparatively light, though fast and aggressive forward line. Our team will depend on speed, aggressiveness, team-play, and good generalship to overcome the greater weight and natural strength of the Yale eleven...
...indifference. He declared, however, that if he had ever seen a team that merited support it was Captain Wendell's team. The fact that the press has given most attention to the star backfield does not in the least detract from the record and ability of a light, but fast and aggressive line. If Harvard wins on Saturday the line will be responsible as much as the backfield...
